Year Demon Capital: Cockle Hepatitis A Poor Xiali
Since March 28, when the people of Modu began to "draw the river and lock down", grocery shopping, group leaders, nucleic acid and the extension of the lockdown have become the four most important "hot topics" in the city.
In this day and age, no one can stay out of it. As long as you turn on your phone, whether it is Weibo, WeChat or any grocery shopping app, there is a suffocating sense of depression in the air.
It's not the first time that the people of Modu have experienced such a life - as early as 34 years ago, around the same time, in 1988, Modu. At that time, people began to gradually release the long-suppressed little Bolshevik character.
Although the living conditions of the people in Modu at that time were not good, just like Cai Xukun rang the doorbell - the food arrived at home, but the housewives were good at finding fun from the trivial things of life and digging more delicacies.
They make pork cutlets with breadcrumbs stuck to the flattened pork, make salad dressings with cooking oil and egg yolks, boil a large pot of borscht with tomatoes and milk, and grind glutinous rice flour with small grinding trays to make black sand dumplings ......In this way, they satisfy the stomach of the family in addition to the food stamps.
That year, no Modu man believed that he would drag his family to No. 2 Bund a year later, lining up for his parents, wives and children, each of whom had a 5The colonel**, who is 9 yuan, proudly spent half a month's salary on himself.
That year, the food stamps of the people of Modu were abundant, and they could increase the amount during festivals, and there were even subsidies such as fish stamps, meat stamps, oil stamps and cigarette stamps. But they need cost-effective side dishes to satisfy their growing appetite.
At this time, a new kind of livelihood appeared on the Suzhou Creek - the farmer uncle in the suburbs used a small boat to transport his own eggs that he could not eat, and exchanged them with the food stamps of the residents along the Suzhou Creek, which is the story of "eggs for food stamps".
Later, more and more farmers in the suburbs discovered the secret of Suzhou Creek, and they not only brought eggs, but also various daily commodities and other rigid necessities, which completely opened the eyes of the people of Modu and allowed them to see new possibilities.
Among them, the most popular "just need" is the cockle, which is the favorite of Shanghai people, cheap, delicious, and can also bring an annual output value of 1 million yuan to Shanghai.
Cockles don't require any tickets and can be easily purchased by the Suzhou Creek, in small vegetable markets and on the streets, and are loved by everyone. Just blanch the cockles and scoop them up, and mix them with minced garlic and soy sauce to make a delicious dish that people can't help but eat again and again.
Paired with old wine, it is even more delicious, just like the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the magic capital, only Lay's.
At the beginning of 1988, a cockle belt with a thickness of more than one meter was discovered in Qidong, Jiangsu. This discovery caused a sensation, and some people even say that the cockle became a fine man to build the Great Wall under the sea.
Subsequently, Qidong cockles became the first-class hard dish on New Year's Day for the people of the magic capital. However, after a few days, many people develop symptoms of foodborne hepatitis A virus. The large and small hospitals in Modu were completely destroyed, and more than 1,200 beds could not meet the needs of patients.
However, the people of Modu showed the essence of Shanghai style, requisitioned various places as temporary hepatitis A wards, and created more than 100,000 temporary hospital beds. Since February, the people of Mordu have been self-isolating, even wearing cotton masks and white gloves.
A new trend has recently emerged in the "food circle" of the magic capital: banlangen. Friends no longer serve tea to guests, but make a cup of banlan root to welcome them. A cup of banlan root was drunk with relish, and the banlan root produced all over the country was shipped to the magic capital, and the supply exceeded demand.
Some speculators** bought Banlangen and sold it, causing discontent in society. In order to combat this behavior, the people of Modu began to frantically purchase all kinds of high-quality hospitality, such as royal jelly, youth treasure, Nestle milk powder, etc.
At the beginning of March, the hepatitis A epidemic in Modu was basically under control. Although people don't talk much about the history of the epidemic caused by the "hairy cockle semen incident" now, they still miss it occasionally.
Another effect is that the cockles have since disappeared from the dining table of the people of Modu. In 1988, the people of Modu began to look for ways to make more money, and more and more of them chose to become a bad driver.
Due to the development of the market economy, their average annual income is about equal to the net income of one color TV, and one person's salary can easily support a family of five, which is much higher than that of a 9-to-5 dual-income family.
On the streets of the magic capital at that time, although taxis were not dense, there were various styles. For example, the blue-green turtle car, which flourished at the end of the 1970s, although it was not as active as it was ten years ago at the end of the 1980s, is still the first choice of many people in Modu, because it is really cheap.
However, for many Aunt Modu who "pick the door", the ** of 2 cents and 1 kilometer still makes them feel expensive. Moreover, the experience of the turtle car is very poor: it is loud, it loves black smoke, it smells of gasoline, it is very unsafe, and it often breaks down for no reason.
Sometimes the turn is too sharp, and the rear wheels will suddenly take off, leaving passengers in a cold sweat.
Small size, flexible and smooth Shikumen alleys, smash hit old cars such as Shanghai brand, Fiat 126p, etc., are deeply loved, but because of the problems of indiscriminate charges and poor service, almost no one dares to take the Modu people.
If you want to take the "turtle car" for 2 cents per kilometer, you need to make a reservation in advance. In August, Modu rectified the poor market and launched a meter. In December, Volkswagen Taxi Company opened, and Santana officially became the magic city taxi and became the business card of public transportation.
In the past 20 years, the maroon Santana taxi and the white-gloved uncle have become the most literate and martial legends in the magic capital.
For most Mordons, the starting fee is 1 per kilometer2 yuan, 3 kilometers 11 yuan taxi fare is still unaffordable. Therefore, at important moments, many people will choose to go to the cigarette paper shop to shout "turtle car" - such as when catching a train or ferry, when a family member is sick, or when a daughter-in-law goes to ......the hospital to give birth to a childAt that time, many people wanted to have a taxi with a starting fare of less than 10 yuan and a meter of less than 1 yuan per kilometer.
But don't worry, your little Charlie will be there soon. In 1988, the favorite taxi hatchback Xiali of the Modu people in the next few years was born - Tianjin Micro Car Factory launched the TJ7100 hatchback Xiali sedan based on the third-generation Daihatsu Charade.
This car is based on Xiali's pioneering work in the early 1980s, the TJ730. The length, width and height are 3610mm, 1600mm, 1385mm, the wheelbase is 2340mm, and the weight is 740kg.
Compared with its predecessor TJ730, its overall lines are significantly more rounded. Regardless of size or appearance, it belongs to the Hongguang mini level in the car. In terms of power, the Xiali TJ7100 has not shrunk.
It is equipped with the same Daihatsu 1 as TJ7300L three-cylinder carburetor engine, maximum power 52 horsepower (38kW) 5600rpm, maximum torque 75N·m 3200rpm, matched with 4-speed manual transmission, maximum speed 135km h, fuel consumption per 100 km 46 liters.
The powertrain doesn't seem to be ......But compared with the Fiat 126P of the same period, it is instantly incomparable. This car 1As soon as the hatchback sedan with 0L displacement was launched, it belonged to the level of Qin Shi Huang who ate peppercorns and won hemp - even if it cost 100,000 yuan, even if the plastic feeling of its interior can instantly make people live in Bengbu, but there are still many people who flock to it.
After all, in the 1980s, a reliable domestic car was more precious than today's Chinese cabbage, and it only cost 100,000 yuan! What's more, the hatchback Xiao Xiali not only made up for the vacancy in the private car market, but also quickly became the favorite of large and small taxi companies across the country.
They found that no matter how small the hatchback Xiali is, it is also a sedan, and it is cheap and sufficient, which can completely fill the huge gap below Santana, and attract more customers with a cheaper one.
Soon, the hatchback Xiao Xiali, who entered the Modu taxi market, instantly made the small Bolshevik universe of the Modu people explode - no matter how small the fly is, it is a piece of meat, and no matter how broken Xiali is, it is also a car!
And Xiao Xiali's pricing is really pinched in the waist of the Modu people: the starting fee is 96 yuan, 0. per kilometer$9. Two meals of KFC's hometown chicken**, you can take a real car, why not try?
The red Santana and the Xiali taxi have left an unforgettable memory on the streets of the magic capital. Although the air conditioner of the Xiali car is prone to failure in the summer, this does not affect the love of the people of Modu for Xiali.
Those poor uncles who drove Xiali taxis also made a lot of money because of this, and even became the sweethearts of the blind date market in the magic capital. And most of the most ferocious ruthless people in the magic capital that year were in Japan, and some poor uncles who had been making hemp for several years even resigned to study in Tokyo, perhaps because they wanted to taste the sweetness of the market economy in depth, or maybe in order to compensate for the magical epidemic brought by cockles.
And the magic capital in 1988 has become unfamiliar, it seems that every household is vying to circulate the videotape of "Teresa Teng: A Billion Applause", young people gather in the disco to dance with Leslie Cheung's "Monica", and the little children are waiting for the TV every day ** "Dinosaur Express Kesai", everyone is practicing seriously.
The cockles have long since disappeared, hepatitis A is no longer panicked, and the red Santana and Xiali taxis only live in **.
